Is there a command in Revit similar to Autocad where you can find and replace text?

REVIT dosen't have a find replace utility (Haven't been brave enough to try 2009 yet), but there are some clever people out there who have done somthing about it. I can't remember where I found this. Works for REVIT 2008, read the .txt file to install. Once done you'll have 'Find replace' under 'Tools - External tools'

 HTH

Luke

If you install the VSTA add on, which is the built in Revit API script writer, I believe there is a sample script for this that you could use.

 Where is the txt file? There is only an .ini and .dll file in the zip when I open it.
How do I install this?
Thanks
